Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the south or east, the islet of Isulattu lies just off the point; watch the rocks reaching out from it. A bathing-buoy line and channel laid in early June keep boats off the shallows, so many now anchor in 12 to 20 metres, sand patches under 10 metres filling quickly. Seek sand between the posidonia; the Donia app helps place the anchor. Shelter from S, SW and W. Open to N, NE and E, leave on forecast tramontane. Porto Pollo 4.3 NM N, Propriano 4.7 NM NE.

Practical

No services. Porto Pollo for water, fuel and provisions 4.3 NM N. Propriano marina for full services 4.7 NM NE.
